Fresh air

My mother and I took advantage of the really nice November weather we've been having here and escaped the city. We drove out to one of the wetlands west of Moose Jaw and had a nice walk along the partially frozen shore. There wasn't much wild life around but I found plenty to interest me on the ground:
a pile of tiny shells,a patch of lacy ice,
and a patch of lacy ice catching the winter sun.
It was really nice to have a quiet walk with no real agenda. It was also nice to get home, curl up under a warm blanket and knit away at a sock. What a great day off.
